What Do Points On My Nebraska Driving Record Mean?

Points on your personal driving record indicate the traffic violations that you have been convicted of in the state of Nebraska. Each traffic offense carries a different point value, which is based on how serious the infraction is:

Motor vehicle homicide: 12 points

First offense of driving under the influence: 6 points

Willful reckless driving: 6 points

Leaving the scene of an accident: 6 points

Negligent driving: 3 points

Not submitting to an alcohol test: 1 point

Driving with an expired driver’s license: 1 point

When you incur 12 or more demerit points in a period of two years, your driver’s license will be revoked by the Nebraska Department of Motor Vehicles for six months. A second NE driving record point revocation within five years will result in a three-year driver’s license revocation.

How do points against my Nebraska license affect me?

In addition to the driver’s license revocation that occurs when you accumulate 12 or more points on your Department of Motor Vehicles driving record, point accumulation can also result in an increase in auto insurance premiums and a decrease in commercial driving opportunities. Personal NE driving record points convey unsafe driving behaviors, which may force commercial vehicle employers to reject your application and insurance companies to increase your premiums.

How do I remove drivers license points from my Nebraska record?

Two points can be removed from your Nebraska DMV driving record by enrolling in traffic school. However, you must complete a defensive driving course before the 12th point is assessed on your drivers record.

How long do points stay on my Nebraska driving record?

Personal NE driving history points will remain on your driving record until you take the necessary corrective action, such as enroll in traffic school. However, points older than two years will not be counted towards your next driver’s license point revocation.
